FINDLAY, Ohio (April 18, 2013) — The Hercules Tire & Rubber Co.'s Hercules Terra Trac R/S (rugged service) all-terrain tire is now available in North America.
The M+S-rated Terra Trac R/S—originally previewed during the 2012 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show—was built for rough conditions, tough commercial applications and on- and off-road all-season performance, Hercules said. It is available in 10 light truck/SUV fitments, with 3-ply tread and/or 3-ply sidewall construction in select sizes.
According to Hercules, the heavy-duty construction of the tire provides puncture and impact resistance, making it ideal for work trucks in the agricultural, construction and mining industries, as well as trucks dedicated to recreational use involving heavy wilderness trekking.
Features include a wide footprint for uniform wear and stability; a tough tread compound; and a low-void shoulder for more contact and aggressive grip, the Findlay-based company said.
"The Hercules Terra Trac R/S is an ideal tire for on- and off-road use. It's exceptionally sturdy and it's built to last—even in severe conditions," said Joshua Simpson, vice president of marketing for Hercules. "And dealers who have a history with our Terra Trac offerings will find the Terra Trac R/S an excellent addition to the line-up and a great value to offer their customers."
